Licenses & Legal

How these documents fit together

1. Third-party licenses govern their respective components.
2. The Export Runtime License governs original Remanet Runtime components intentionally included in a legitimate exported exhibition.
3. The Proprietary Software License governs the Remanet Builder.
4. Ownership & Privacy explains actual product and data practices.

Artists can use their own exported exhibitions commercially or noncommercially, including charging admission, selling artwork, and publishing on gallery or institutional websites, subject to third-party rights. The Runtime restrictions concern repackaging Remanet into other software products.

Remanet Software License

REMANET PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE LICENSE
Version 1.0

Effective Date: September 2026

Copyright © 2026 Ian Manseau. All rights reserved.

IMPORTANT: REMANET IS PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE. IT IS PROVIDED FOR USE, NOT FOR REDISTRIBUTION, REHOSTING, REPACKAGING, OR CREATION OF COMPETING SOFTWARE.

By selecting "I Agree," creating a project, opening a project, importing a project, or otherwise using the Remanet Builder after being presented with these terms, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this License.

If you do not agree to this License, do not use the Remanet Builder.

Remanet is provided for use through the official Remanet website. It is not open-source software and is not licensed for redistribution, rehosting, repackaging, or creation of competing software except as expressly provided in this License or the separate Remanet Export Runtime License.

For purposes of this License:

"Remanet" means the software product known as Remanet.

"Remanet.art" means the official Remanet website and any official subdomains or successor domains controlled by the copyright owner.

"Remanet Builder" means the Remanet browser-based exhibition-authoring application, including its original source code, object code, compiled or bundled JavaScript, HTML, CSS, user interface, visual design, documentation, data structures, original assets, and other proprietary components.

"Remanet Runtime" means the limited software components intentionally included by Remanet inside a legitimately exported exhibition for the purpose of displaying and operating that exhibition.

"Exported Exhibition" means an exhibition package legitimately generated through the Remanet Builder.

"User Content" means artwork, photographs, panoramas, text, audio, video, metadata, exhibition information, and other material supplied by a user.

1. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE BUILDER

Subject to compliance with this License, Remanet grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Remanet Builder through Remanet.art solely for the purpose of creating, editing, previewing, and exporting exhibitions.

Remanet is currently made available without charge. Free access does not place the Remanet Builder in the public domain, make it open-source software, or grant any ownership interest in the software.

Except for the rights expressly granted in this License, no rights are granted by implication, estoppel, exhaustion, or otherwise.

2. OWNERSHIP OF REMANET

The Remanet Builder and all copyrightable original material contained in it are owned by the copyright owner or, where applicable, licensed from third parties.

All right, title, and interest in the Remanet Builder remain with their respective owners.

Nothing in this License constitutes a sale or transfer of ownership of the Remanet Builder or any portion of it.

The availability of browser-delivered code, compiled code, scripts, assets, network resources, or other Remanet components does not grant permission to reproduce, redistribute, modify, rehost, republish, or commercially exploit those components except as expressly authorized by this License.

3. PROHIBITED USES

Except to the extent that a restriction is prohibited by applicable law or an applicable third-party license expressly grants broader rights, you may not directly or indirectly:

1. copy, reproduce, download, archive, republish, distribute, or redistribute the Remanet Builder or a substantial portion of it for use as software separate from Remanet.art;
2. host, mirror, proxy, frame, reproduce, or operate the Remanet Builder, or a substantially similar copy of it, on another domain, server, application, platform, or service;
3. create, distribute, operate, or assist in creating a clone, fork, derivative application, competing exhibition builder, hosted virtual-tour builder, white-label version, software-as-a-service offering, or other software product substantially derived from proprietary Remanet Builder code;
4. sell, rent, lease, sublicense, assign, commercially distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the Remanet Builder or access to it;
5. extract, isolate, package, publish, or redistribute proprietary Remanet Builder components for use in another product or service;
6. reproduce the Remanet user interface, original visual assets, documentation, or original code in a manner that infringes Remanet intellectual-property rights;
7. remove, obscure, alter, or falsify copyright notices, license notices, attribution, proprietary notices, or other rights-management information contained in the Remanet Builder;
8. use the Remanet name, Remanet.art name, logos, trade dress, or branding in a way that falsely suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, certification, or official status;
9. use proprietary Remanet Builder code to train, create, generate, or materially assist in the creation of a competing software product where doing so would violate copyright, this License, or other applicable law;
10. circumvent or attempt to circumvent reasonable technical measures intended to control unauthorized access to non-public Remanet systems, source repositories, administrative functions, or restricted resources;
11. access non-public source code, systems, credentials, infrastructure, or administrative interfaces without authorization.

Nothing in this section limits lawful activity that cannot be restricted under applicable law, including rights expressly provided for interoperability, security research, or other statutory exceptions.

4. NO OPEN-SOURCE LICENSE

Remanet is not licensed under the MIT License, GNU GPL, Apache License, BSD License, Mozilla Public License, Creative Commons license, or any other open-source or source-available license unless a specific component expressly states otherwise.

Access to browser-delivered Remanet code does not constitute publication of source code under an open-source license.

No permission is granted to maintain or distribute an unofficial Remanet fork, clone, mirror, or alternative hosted instance.

5. USER CONTENT REMAINS THE USER'S

Remanet does not claim ownership of User Content.

You retain whatever copyright, trademark, publicity, contractual, or other rights you already possess in artwork, photographs, panoramas, text, audio, video, metadata, exhibition design, and other material you provide to Remanet.

Using Remanet does not transfer those rights to the copyright owner of Remanet.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient rights to use any third-party material you include in an exhibition.

6. PROJECT DATA

Remanet is designed around local-first processing.

Unless a feature clearly states otherwise, project content intended for exhibition creation should be processed within the user's browser rather than uploaded to Remanet for storage.

Actual network behavior, analytics, third-party resources, optional integrations, embeds, error reporting, or similar functionality must be accurately disclosed in Remanet's Ownership & Privacy information.

Nothing in this License grants Remanet ownership of user project data.

7. EXPORTED EXHIBITIONS

Remanet's restrictions on the proprietary Builder do not prevent users from exercising the rights intentionally granted for Exported Exhibitions.

Subject to third-party rights and the Remanet Export Runtime License, a user may:

• publish an Exported Exhibition;
• host it on any compatible website or server;
• copy it;
• back it up;
• archive it;
• preserve it;
• transfer it to another host or custodian;
• provide it to a gallery, museum, school, archive, collector, institution, or other party responsible for maintaining it;
• modify project-specific exhibition files;
• modify the included Remanet Runtime to the extent permitted by the Remanet Export Runtime License.

An Exported Exhibition must not require continued access to Remanet.art for ordinary operation unless an optional external feature is clearly identified as requiring such access.

The rights granted for Exported Exhibitions do not grant a right to extract proprietary Remanet Runtime code for the primary purpose of creating a competing exhibition-building product or general-purpose software library.

8. REMANET EXPORT RUNTIME

Any Remanet Runtime intentionally included in an Exported Exhibition is licensed separately under the Remanet Export Runtime License accompanying that export.

Where this License conflicts with the Remanet Export Runtime License with respect to an exported Runtime component, the Remanet Export Runtime License governs that component.

Nothing in the Remanet Export Runtime License grants rights to proprietary portions of the Remanet Builder that are not included in the Exported Exhibition.

9. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

Remanet may incorporate or interact with third-party libraries, frameworks, fonts, icons, media, or other components.

Third-party components remain subject to their respective licenses.

Nothing in this License reduces, overrides, or restricts rights granted by a third-party license.

Required copyright notices, attribution, license texts, source-code offers, and similar notices must be preserved where applicable.

10. FEEDBACK

If you voluntarily provide suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, ideas, or other feedback concerning Remanet, you grant the copyright owner a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use, reproduce, modify, implement, publish, and incorporate that feedback into Remanet without compensation or obligation to you.

This section does not transfer ownership of your artwork, exhibition content, project files, or other User Content.

11. BETA SOFTWARE

Remanet may be identified as beta, preview, experimental, or pre-release software.

Beta software may contain errors, incomplete functionality, compatibility problems, or changes that result in projects behaving differently between versions.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of your project files, exported exhibitions, and original media.

Remanet may modify, suspend, discontinue, replace, or remove Builder functionality at any time.

Discontinuation of the Remanet Builder does not terminate perpetual rights previously granted for legitimately exported exhibitions under the Remanet Export Runtime License.

12. NO WARRANTY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, REMANET AND THE REMANET BUILDER ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

THE COPYRIGHT OWNER DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, COMPATIBILITY, AND DATA PRESERVATION.

NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE CREATES A WARRANTY UNLESS EXPRESSLY STATED IN A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE COPYRIGHT OWNER.

13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COPYRIGHT OWNER, CONTRIBUTORS, AND PERSONS INVOLVED IN PROVIDING REMANET WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO REMANET.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE REMANET BUILDER OR THIS LICENSE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

1. THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO USE THE REMANET BUILDER DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR
2. FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

OPTIONAL DONATIONS DO NOT CONSTITUTE PAYMENT FOR A WARRANTY, SERVICE LEVEL, SUPPORT OBLIGATION, OR EXPANDED LICENSE RIGHTS.

Nothing in this License excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the copyright owner from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal expenses arising from:

• User Content that you upload, process, publish, or distribute without sufficient rights;
• your unlawful use of Remanet;
• your material violation of this License; or
• your use of Remanet to infringe the rights of another person.

This section does not require indemnification for claims caused solely by the copyright owner's own unlawful conduct.

15. TRADEMARKS AND BRANDING

Remanet, Remanet.art, associated logos, visual identifiers, and other Remanet branding may function as trademarks or source identifiers regardless of registration status.

No trademark license is granted except for incidental display of Remanet attribution as part of a legitimately exported exhibition.

You may truthfully state that an exhibition was created with Remanet.

You may not use Remanet branding to name, market, or identify another software product, hosted service, distribution, fork, or commercial offering without written permission.

16. TERMINATION

Your license to use the Remanet Builder terminates automatically if you materially violate this License.

Upon termination, you must cease unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, hosting, or exploitation of the Remanet Builder.

Termination of the Builder license does not revoke perpetual rights previously granted under the Remanet Export Runtime License for an Exported Exhibition that was legitimately created before termination.

Sections concerning ownership, prohibited uses, User Content, third-party rights, warranties, liability, indemnification, trademarks, governing law, and other provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

17. ENFORCEMENT

Unauthorized reproduction, redistribution, hosting, modification, or commercial exploitation of the Remanet Builder may violate this License and may also violate copyright, trademark, unfair-competition, computer-access, or other applicable laws.

The copyright owner reserves the right to seek any remedies available under applicable law, including monetary damages and injunctive or equitable relief where legally available.

Nothing in this License creates a remedy or cause of action that would not otherwise be available under applicable law.

18. GOVERNING LAW

This License is governed by the laws of the State of Texas and applicable federal law of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

Any dispute arising from this License that may lawfully be brought in state or federal court will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If a more specific venue provision is adopted for Remanet's Terms of Use, that provision should be kept consistent with this License.

19. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this License is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent legally permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

20. NO WAIVER

Failure to enforce any provision of this License does not waive the right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver is effective only if made in writing by the copyright owner.

21. NO ASSIGNMENT BY USER

You may not assign or transfer your Builder license or obligations under this License without written permission from the copyright owner.

This restriction does not prevent transfer of a legitimately Exported Exhibition as permitted under the Remanet Export Runtime License.

22. CHANGES TO THE LICENSE

A revised version of this License may govern future use of later versions of the Remanet Builder after the revised terms are presented to and accepted by the user.

A later Builder license will not retroactively revoke perpetual rights already granted for legitimately exported exhibitions under an applicable Remanet Export Runtime License.

23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This License, together with any applicable Remanet Terms of Use, Ownership & Privacy disclosures, Remanet Export Runtime License, and applicable third-party notices, constitutes the agreement governing use of the Remanet Builder to the extent those documents apply.

If there is a conflict:

1. third-party licenses control the third-party components they cover;
2. the Remanet Export Runtime License controls Remanet Runtime components contained in a legitimate Exported Exhibition;
3. this License controls the proprietary Remanet Builder.

24. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Remanet Builder belongs to Remanet.

The artist's work belongs to the artist.

The exported exhibition remains the artist's to publish, preserve, move, and maintain under the rights expressly granted for that export.

Export Runtime License

REMANET EXPORT RUNTIME LICENSE
Version 1.0

Copyright © 2026 Ian Manseau. All rights reserved.

This License applies only to original Remanet software components intentionally included as part of an exhibition exported by Remanet ("Remanet Runtime").

It does not apply to the proprietary Remanet Builder and does not replace or modify licenses covering third-party components.

1. LICENSE GRANT

For each exhibition legitimately created or exported using Remanet, the user is granted a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, host, archive, back up, display, distribute, and modify the Remanet Runtime as part of that exhibition.

The license includes the right to provide the Exported Exhibition, including the Remanet Runtime, to another person or organization for hosting, maintenance, preservation, accessibility work, archival custody, or exhibition of that same project.

The license does not expire if Remanet.art becomes unavailable, Remanet is discontinued, or future versions of Remanet are released.

2. EXHIBITION PORTABILITY

An Exported Exhibition may be:

• hosted on any compatible web server;
• incorporated into an artist's, gallery's, museum's, school's, archive's, or other organization's website;
• moved between hosting providers;
• stored locally;
• stored in institutional or personal archives;
• copied for preservation or backup;
• transferred to another person or organization responsible for maintaining or exhibiting the project;
• modified as necessary to maintain, preserve, present, make accessible, or adapt the exhibition.

No connection to Remanet.art, Remanet servers, an account system, licensing server, subscription service, or Remanet API is required for normal operation.

3. USER CONTENT

This License grants Remanet no ownership rights in the user's artwork, photographs, panoramas, text, metadata, audio, video, exhibition design, project data, or other user-created content.

Users remain responsible for obtaining any necessary rights for third-party material included in their exhibitions.

4. GENERATED PROJECT FILES

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, configuration, metadata, media references, and other project-specific files generated specifically for the user's exhibition may be copied, modified, archived, transferred, and published by the user without additional permission from Remanet, subject to third-party rights and licenses.

This permission does not grant permission to copy or redistribute unrelated portions of the proprietary Remanet Builder that are not included in the Exported Exhibition.

5. RUNTIME RESTRICTIONS

The Remanet Runtime may not be extracted, repackaged, redistributed, sold, or offered primarily as:

• a standalone virtual-tour or exhibition-building library;
• a competing exhibition builder;
• a hosted service substantially reproducing the Remanet Builder;
• a general-purpose runtime product unrelated to the Exported Exhibition;
• another software product presented under the Remanet name;
• another software product presented in a manner falsely implying official Remanet status.

These restrictions do not prevent reasonable modification, copying, or redistribution of the Runtime as part of a legitimately exported exhibition for its operation, accessibility, maintenance, preservation, presentation, transfer, or adaptation.

They also do not restrict rights granted by applicable law or by a third-party license.

6. ATTRIBUTION AND BRANDING

Remanet attribution included in an Exported Exhibition may be removed by the artist or another person authorized to modify that exhibition, unless a specific third-party component requires attribution or another notice under its own license.

Use of the Remanet name or logo to imply sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, certification, or official status is not permitted without authorization.

Removing Remanet attribution does not remove copyright or license notices required for third-party components.

7. THIRD-PARTY COMPONENTS

Third-party software, fonts, icons, media, and other materials included in an Exported Exhibition remain governed by their respective license terms.

Where those licenses require notices, attribution, source-code availability, source-code offers, or other conditions, those requirements remain in effect.

The included THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.txt file must not be removed where its contents are required by an applicable license.

8. NO WARRANTY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE REMANET RUNTIME AND EXPORTED EXHIBITIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COPYRIGHT OWNER AND CONTRIBUTORS TO REMANET WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE, MODIFICATION, HOSTING, PRESERVATION, TRANSFER, OR DISTRIBUTION OF AN EXPORTED EXHIBITION OR REMANET RUNTIME.

Nothing in this License excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

10. SURVIVAL

Rights granted under this License to a legitimately exported exhibition are perpetual and survive discontinuation of Remanet, Remanet.art, or future versions of the software.

Third-Party Notices

REMANET THIRD-PARTY NOTICES
Public Beta · 2026-09-10

The distributed builder and exported viewer currently contain no third-party JavaScript libraries, CSS frameworks, icon sets, or CDN dependencies. They use original Remanet code and standard browser APIs, including WebGL, Canvas and the File System Access API. Inter and DM Mono are bundled locally under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; see LICENSE-Inter.txt and LICENSE-DMMono.txt. Sources: https://github.com/rsms/inter and https://github.com/googlefonts/dm-mono. No remote font requests are made. The sample Residue panorama is user-provided content, not a software dependency; its ownership is unchanged.

Node.js is used for local development tools and tests only and is not included in this website or its exhibition exports. Browser and operating-system software retain their own licensing. Future bundled dependencies must be audited and their required notices included here before distribution.

OPTIONAL GOOGLE ANALYTICS
When an exhibition creator explicitly enables Google Analytics, its published tour can load Google's remotely hosted Google tag (gtag.js). This script is not bundled with Remanet. Google Analytics is a third-party service subject to Google's terms and privacy policies. Visitor usage information is sent to Google; the creator supplies the measurement ID. The hosted Builder website separately uses Google Analytics with the site owner’s measurement ID. This website tag is not exported with tours; the standard tag also loads when these website pages are previewed locally over HTTP or HTTPS. Tracking is disabled by default; the default enabled configuration asks for visitor permission before loading Google's script.

Enabled exhibition analytics reports manual virtual scene page views, scene_view, artwork_view and navigation_hotspot events to the artist’s GA4 property. It uses the actual hosting URL and does not depend on Remanet servers. Scene URLs are internal reporting values only; the viewer does not change browser history. No additional GA4 configuration is required.
